It's not unheard of for email to get 'lost in the mail', either. The speed of your connection is only one issue, and a minor one at that.
Another issue nobody has mentioned so far is the fact that some people have their clocks set wrong. This can be ahead or behind - minutes, hours, months, or even years. I've seen many emails sent before the 'current' time. Naturally, the replies will come in 'before' the questions. Your mail server may go down for a few minutes. While the systems will retry to send the post to you, they may not do so immediately. Thus, mail is delayed. A reply might come in before the question. I know anytime I am DLing mail, the server is 'busy' for my mailbox for the minutes this takes. Any mail received during that time is delayed. Your post may show up on the YahooGroups web site, but not be sent to email recipients for hours or days. YahooGroups recently had issues when mail was delayed for several days. Since that time, which it appears they were upgrading their servers, it seems mail has been much faster. Then there is the issue of moderation. It's necessary unless you want a group dominated by spam. All that said, just accept that it's a problem that will not be solved by ANY email service, as they all go through the same internet and they all use mail servers. And I'm certain Yahoo's mail servers are different from those used by YahooGroups. Now, can we get back on-topic? Joe M.
